Despite commencing building in April last year, Faraday Future halted construction on its Nevada factory in October, and now work has been postponed indefinitely.

The Future of Humanity Institute recently published the results of its survey of over 350 industry and academic Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts from around the globe in an effort to answer this question. They also tackled a more vexing one: When will machines exceed human performance for all tasks? According to those experts we have decades.Guest blogger Mychal McCabe explains.

Engineers and sales can get along better, and customers get safer automobiles by using the ISO 26262as agreed‑upon set of rules.“Shoot the engineer and ship the product,” is a fun maxim that has stood the test of time. Engineers and developers like to get it right, step back, and take pride in the beauty of their work. CEOs, marketing, and sales want to get it shipped, on time and below budget.

The latest addition to NXP Semiconductors' rapidly expanding LPC800 series of 32-bit ARM 30 MHz Cortex-M0+ based microcontrollers has been announced. The LPC84xfamily, designed to balance power, performance and price, addresses the growing demand to simplify and speed development - enabling smarter next-gen designs to be cost- and power-efficient.

The remote world of the IoT and building management systems (BMS) involves the connectivity of autonomous devices which require little or no maintenance - hence the term "Fit and Forget". These "lonely" devices often consist of sensor/actuator functions that need power. The use of replaceable batteries or the provision of mains power is often not ideal due to location, cost and increasingly, user preference.

As embedded intelligence is finding its way into ever more areas of our lives, fields ranging from autonomous driving to personalised medicine are generating huge amounts of data. But just as the flood of data is reaching massive proportions, the ability of computer chips to process it into useful information is stalling.Now, researchers at Stanford University and MIT have built a new chip to overcome this hurdle.

Whether it's for computer games, motion analysis in sports, or even medical examinations, many applications require that people and their movements are captured digitally in 3D in real-time. Until now, this was possible only with expensive systems of several cameras, or by having people wear special suits. Computer scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science have now developed a system that requires only a single video camera.

An international team of researchers has now succeeded in extracting a fault tolerant manipulation of quanta from an effect of classical mechanics.The motion of a tennis racket in the air can help predict the behaviour of quanta. “Using an analogy from classical physics aids us in more efficiently designing and illustrating control elements for phenomena in the quantum world,” reports Stefan Glaser, professor in the Department of Chem...

Kontron has announced numerous new security services available on its VPX and VME boards and systems, as well as on its TRACe computer family.Addressing increasing security requirements for safety-critical applications, Kontron Secure Embedded Computing (SEC-Line) consists of four security modules, Kontron APPROTECT, Secure Boot, Trusted Boot and Authentication with TPM, implementing hardware enforced root of trust, as well as software only techn...

NASA has moved forward with a plan to develop a refrigerator-sized spacecraft capable of deflecting asteroids and preventing them from colliding with Earth.The Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, is being designed and would be built and managed by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. NASA approved a move from concept development to the preliminary design phase on June 23.
